Thesis Statement: The Franco American Union’s motive for building the Statue of Liberty was not only to signify the friendship between America and France, but also to persuade the United States to help change France’s government.
Topic #2- Establishing the Franco American Union
The Statue of Liberty isn’t what most Americans believe it is today. It wasn’t a gift from France; it was actually a plan in disguise. The French government wasn’t right, and people were unhappy with how it was being run. Edouard de Laboulaye was one of those people. He was very unhappy with the French government and wanted it changed as soon as possible. So he created the Franco-American Union to help him with his plan.
The words Franco-American are what most people would think meant a mix between America and France. But in truth, no Americans were included in this union. The Franco-American Union was unhappy with their current government. They were using the statue to get the United States to not only signify friendship or alliance, but to help them with their government so it could be changed. That was the real ‘I scratch your back, you scratch mine’
act in progress.
Money was another whole issue. The Franco-American Union had just been created; so there were no funds from them. So they asked all of the French citizens to support and raise money. In total for the whole entire statue, there were 100,000 donors who gave their money and sacrificed to get this done. The money came up to 600,000 francs, which is 118,580 in American dollars. The pedestal however had to be bought by the United States itself.
